Sorry about the super late response. I gave her aspirin for a few days and she's eating just fine now. Here's pictures from today. Should the tip regrow?

I haven't been able to find the time to take pictures today, I will try to tomorrow! I've given her a low dose of aspirin. ~40mg crushed up in yoghurt

Yesterday I noticed one of my hens had broken the tip of her beak. I'm not sure when it happened but it couldn't have been longer than a day or two before I noticed. It's not as bad as some beak injuries I've seen, it's just the tip- almost like it was clipped with nail clippers or something...

Any thoughts on this bird's sex? The proportions make me think cockerel, this chick's legs are long! I can't really find a lot of pictures of JG chicks around 6 weeks to compare it to though.

Hi everyone, I'm Sloane, an intersex lesbian and relatively new to chicken keeping. 🫡🐔 I hope to be more active on here! Lots to learn

Here she is at just under 6 weeks. I'm sure she's a pullet. And gorgeous too

I'm actually fine with this one being a cockerel! I just hope it's the only one of the group lol. Though my black jersey giant chick also looks a bit masculine to me :fl

This is my first time keeping a BC marans, I've heard they comb up early but this is looking like a cockerel to me. Thoughts? 4 weeks on 4/26

I know lol, just impatient and like to hear others thoughts. I'll update in a couple weeks

I've got a mixed batch of 6 chicks, all supposed to be pullets, and got a bonus extra Easter Egger. I'm unsure if the bonus chick is straight run but I'm assuming it is. They turned 2 weeks today (I know it's too young to sex, but guessing is fun! 😇) This chick is definitely the...

Thank you for the literature. Yes, I could see it being stress related. Maybe she's being bullied away from the feeder as well. I'll try putting out a second one. This is my feeds nutritional info.

I just recently noticed my Barnevelder Catnip has developed some white feathers on her left wing. I believe they only appeared after her most recent molt. She's about 4 y/o. Any ideas what could be causing this? Age related? One of my other hens does occasionally pick on her. She's otherwise...

Thank you all for your advice, unfortunately though I'm making the call to euthanize. :( She's my favorite bird. Can't bare to watch her suffer and it just seems like her body is failing her. I'll be having a necropsy done as well

I'm currently giving her coconut oil and a crop massage. Its squishing and a bit grainy. She some water too. She weighed 2.6 lbs. She actually ate a bit when I got home. I can call the vet about the dosage tomorrow morning, but I dont want to give her the fluconazole tonight because I feel like...
